A second-half hat-trick from Kosta Barbarouses has seen Melbourne Victory stay in touch with the Hyundai A-League summit – and heap more misery on Brisbane Roar - after a crushing 5-0 win at Suncorp Stadium on Tuesday night.

Victory led 1-0 at the break thanks to Ola Toivonen’s early goal and then went on a rampage in the second half, with Barbarouses the star.

Barbarouses brought up an impressive milestone with his treble in the second stanza, with right-back Storm Roux capping a brilliant away performance with a sensational glancing header.
